Cesta Básica is a box compilation of the Brazilian band Raimundos. It was launched in 1996, consisting of a comic book, a VHS tape and a CD-ROM. Its name comes from the Brazilian "cesta básica" (trans. lit.: "basic basket"), a bundle of food items such as rice, beans, noodles, sugar and salt, commonly distributed by the government to poor families, as well as by companies as a supplement to a worker's income.
